Below in the applet is a pre-made triangle: [math]\bigtriangleup[/math]ABC.[br][b]Objective: [/b]Take the scattered parts of the triangle, and attempt to create a triangle with the six parts. [br](If you need to make the triangle on top of the original as a guideline, that is fine too.)
1) Using the [b]points[/b] on the [b]line segments[/b], you can either [b]rotate [/b]the segment around a point or pick up the whole segment and [b]move [/b]it.[br][br]2) [b]Angles [/b]can be [b]moved[/b] by clicking on one of its [b]arms [/b]and dragging it around. [b]Rotate [/b]the angle using its [b]points[/b].[br][br]3) All the [b]segments of the angles[/b] can be [b]extended [/b]or [b]shortened [/b]as needed to connect the triangle.[br][br]
Using any combination of [b]three[/b] parts of the triangle, answer the following questions for each combination you attempt.[br][br]1. Can you create a congruent triangle with your parts?[br][br]2. Can you create a different triangle with your parts?[br]
